What’s your baby sleeping in?

My boy is too big for his halo bassinet but I don’t want to put him in his own room yet. I’ve seen one option for a bigger next to me cot and it’s the next to me forever for £300+ which is so pricey. What are others doing? Or anyone know if a cheaper option.

Mine is sleeping in her crib, which is still in my bedroom.

Could you maybe try to get the Next2Me forever second handed?

My bub has outgrown her snuzpod already so we’ve built her cot bed and put it in her room. She looks tiny in it but she can now roll onto her front and side without getting stuck and waking up.

My nearly 7 month old is in a next2me, i got it 2nd hand off fb for £20 and just bought a new mattress xx

You can get a travel cot

We was in a next2me, and she’s too big for that.

Now in her own cot- it was scary, I didn’t want to move her across but she’s soooooooo much happier, all the room to monouver as she was waking up crying cause she was shuffling and getting stuck.

Could you move the cot in his room into yours? Or a travel cot is a good idea

We bought a travel cot to use when go for weekends away which is quite big so we are using that for a while in our room then will move her to her own room in a few weeks X

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
